Ragini IPS (Kannada: ರಾಗಿಣಿ ಐ.ಪಿ.ಎಸ್) is a 2014 Indian Kannada action film directed by Anand P. Raju and produced by K. Manju. It stars Ragini Dwivedi in the lead role and was the first Kannada film to be named after an actress.Avinash, Kavita Radheshyam and Narayanaswamy appear in supporting roles.

The film tells the story about a strict IPS officer, Ragini (Dwivedi), who aims to rid the society of goons and corrupt politicians, and also ensure that women lead a safe and decent life.
The filming of Ragini IPS began on 24 May 2012, on Ragini Dwivedi's 22nd birthday. The stunts for the film were directed by Mass Madha. Director Anand P. Raju approached actress Rishika Singh for an important role in the film but later opted for Bollywood actress Kavita Radheshyam. Having been trained in Taekwondo, all the stunts in the film were performed by Dwivedi herself without using a body double.
The music of the film was composed by Emil Mohammad. The soundtrack album of the film was released on 8 March 2014. The raunchy song "Menasina Kaaee" went viral on social media and Bollywood actress Kavita Radheshyam who debuts with this film in Kannada was compared with late south Indian actress and sex symbol Silk Smitha by press and media.
